I want one! I want to wear it over my erect penis with a laser on the rail.

If someone at the booth handed me that, I would have been quite happy to give it a test for them. I'm not sure it could stand up to a handshake level grip... much less than how hard I'd squeeze it.
Apparently they were hanging a 40lb dumbbell off of one in their booth.

Impressive- but I don't see how they got any real strength out of the small area where the fibers cross. I guess it was laid up on a cylinder and then the epoxy was cured one way or the other.
No idea. It's certainly not as strong as an aluminum rail and seems to be about the dumbest thing I've seen in a while.

All I wanna know is, where did you get that cool camouflage background?

I forget what it's called but I downloaded some camo theme. It's pretty cool. All my apps have grenades behind their logo too.

Last year when Dougie went to SHOT Show I don't think he was really "working". This year he has been pretty busy doing work. I'm sure he'll post pics of what he's allowed to when he gets some free time. It is frustrating compared to last year's SHOT Show thread but I'm trying to be patient.

"Shooters — especially those who burn through a lot of rounds at the range — will get more longevity out of their hard-earned handgun investment."

If you have enough money to shoot out the barrel then I'm sure that you're not worried about the cost of a new barrel.

This just screams gimmick to me. Needs moar trocars!

Considering that it will be more expensive to shoot than standard FMJ, barrel longevity is irrelevant.

That way you can clean melted red plastic out of your barrel, awesome.

I heard Froglube would take care of it.
